Galgeberg
From the intersection of gallows and grind comes Galgeberg, a loss of life steel trio that delivers the right antidote to our trendy chaos. Named after Oslo’s historic web site of executions, the band embodies the uncooked, unfiltered spirit of maximum music with a sound as sharp because the blade of a guillotine. In the present day, they unveil “Epicurean Paradox,” the blistering first single from their forthcoming EP, Cerberus, set to drop in mid-March 2025.
Recorded in a single chaotic November day with technician Ruben Willem, Cerberus is the sonic equal of Cerberus itself: a snarling, sulfuric three-headed beast that blends punk’s primal power with the crushing weight of loss of life steel. The EP’s venomous lyrics lash out at faith, politics, and humanity’s gradual spiral into insanity.
“Epicurean Paradox” units the tone with buzzsaw riffs, guttural roars, and a rhythm part highly effective sufficient to crack pavement. Bård Eithun (drums), Peter Boström (bass and backing vocals), and Peter Vegem (guitars and lead vocals) channel a long time of expertise into this monitor, delivering a feral power that feels each fast and timeless.
Guitarist and vocalist Peter Vegem informed Decibel, “The title of the music refers back to the dilemma, or moderately trilemma, concerning the “drawback of evil”. Epicurus was an historic Greek thinker who was into non secular skepticism. His well-known paradox says that if there’s an omniscient, all-powerful and omnibenevolent god, there wouldn’t be evil. Properly, it most actually is evil occurring on this world, so if there’s a god, at the least one of many three traits gotta go. Because the music says; your god is a fraud. We don’t essentially point out which god we’re speaking about, however personally I feel all religions who worship some man-made deity are utter bullshit.” He continued, “In relation to the music this one is ferocious. As with all our songs the HM2-pedal is maxed, however on this monitor the riffs are additionally closely influenced by one among our all time fave loss of life steel bands; Dismember. It’s one thing in regards to the pace and sheer brutality mixed with extra melodic sections that I discover very satisfying and addictive. Within the midst of the mayhem there’s truly riffs which you can hum alongside to. Bang on!”
North American followers can seize Cerberus on vinyl and cassette through Our Historic Future, whereas European listeners can snag vinyl and CDs by Aftermath Music Norway. Within the meantime, pre-save “Epicurean Paradox” right here earlier than it formally drops this Friday.
